Hi, Hilder. Have you been back since writing this piece, or pursued those Portuguese classes? If so, it would be great to have an account of your cultural and linguistic journey at my pub Iberospherical, for stories from all Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking lands.

I would love to be able to feature some stories from Portuguese-speaking African countries, whether by visitors or residents.

The pub address is just:

Let me know if you want to be added as a writer for any Portuguese-related stuff.
